Premium ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tape with translucent abrasion-resistant backing, low friction coefficient, and solvent-oil resistant acrylic adhesive for industrial noise reduction and surface protection applications.
3M™ UHMW Film Tape 5425 is a premium ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tape designed for industrial applications requiring exceptional abrasion resistance and low coefficient of friction. This transparent tape creates a unique "slip plane" effect between incompatible surfaces, effectively reducing squeaks, rattles, and noise caused by vibration or wear of metal and plastic materials. The tape features outstanding chemical resistance and solvent-oil resistant acrylic adhesive that provides high adhesion in the most demanding applications.
This general-purpose polyethylene tape is ideal for aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries where protection from abrasion and lubrication-free operation is critical. The tape comes mounted on a liner, making it easy to die-cut to specific lengths and shapes for fabrication purposes. With a tensile strength of 45 lb/in and elongation at break of 345%, this tape delivers superior durability and flexibility for tough impact wear or sliding applications. The translucent backing provides visibility while protecting surfaces from wear, making it suitable for conveyor guide rails, spray booth liners, tank and bin liners, drawer and cabinet slides, and protecting aluminum sheets on stretch forming presses.
With a shelf life of 18 months from date of manufacture and operating temperatures ranging from -30°F to 225°F (-34°C to 107°C), this tape maintains consistent performance across diverse industrial environments. The adhesion strength of 30 oz/in ensures reliable bonding, while the low surface energy characteristic of UHMW-PE significantly reduces friction, creating an effective solution for anti-stick and easy-release requirements. This product meets ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759 specifications.
